Constructing-Style Wizard

: 163. Underground “Adventure”_3

The Rune Array on the left palm is connected to the left forearm.

By placing the right forearm on the back of the left hand, the Rune Staff can be taken out of the Blood Haven, thus cracking the Sage’s Lock.

Noland Lee was completely immersed in his work, as time quickly passed.

Three hours later, the setting sun sank into the ground, Nightfall arrived, and Noland Lee finally obtained the Sage Particles that produce food ingredients using his bone double arms.

It took three hours to get just one Sage Particle, such a slow progress was inevitable.

The field of view of the Magic Vision on the bone double arms was very limited, only able to see things within a 30-degree angle in front. Noland Lee became disoriented several times due to the narrow vision.

“Alright, the most difficult step has been completed. With the rubble heap blocking the walkway, I won’t have to worry about encountering others in the collapsing corridor, but going back and forth through the rubble heap is too time-consuming,”

Noland Lee controlled his bone double arms to dig a channel for the return trip.

Noland Lee had tested before that, when his body was divided into six segments, Denise Green could not pinpoint his location.

He must piece his body back together before summoning Denise Green to take him away.

When Noland Lee’s arms broke through one pile of rubble after another using the excavation device, an unexpected voice sounded near his arms.

“Look what I found! A pair of bone arms that can move on their own. Is this a wonderfully created oddity or some kind of spell?”

Noland Lee’s heart sank as he felt his arms being abruptly seized and picked up from the ground by someone. The Channel-style excavation device they were holding dropped to the floor.

A familiar figure appeared in the Magic Vision of his bone double arms.

Nikcat.

After the Pollution Zone was closed, this Ancient Tomb Wizard, who did not return to the Ground Level, had gone to the same place as Noland Lee.

As a Skeleton Undead, he relied on not having to eat, excrete, or breathe to stay underground for an extended period.

His Magic Pouch was wide open, continuously releasing all sorts of bone materials that transformed into Skeleton Warriors around him.

These Skeleton Warriors held cross picks and chipped away at the rubble heap, clearing a path for their master.

Nikcat himself, leisurely waiting for his Skeleton underlings to clear the way.

Noland Lee activated “Life and Death Tracking” while divided into six segments. Only the Magic Vision of the skull is replaced by the Magic Vision of “Life and Death Tracking.” The body, legs, and arms’ vision will temporarily be lost, plunging into darkness.

Because of this, his bone double arms could not use “Life and Death Tracking” to detect their surroundings while working remotely. It wasn’t until Nikcat touched his bone double arms that he discovered the other’s presence.

Nikcat repeatedly examined the newly obtained bone double arms and marvelled:

“How interesting. These arms are made of human bones and emit a faint magical wave. Whose limbs are you? Where is your main body? I noticed a pattern of an Array Space on the back of your left hand. There should be quite a few treasures hidden inside, right? If you’re willing to hand over the treasures in the Array Space, I’ll let your bone double arms go. How about it? This deal shouldn’t be a loss for you. Whether you want your own arms or the treasures in the Array Space, it’s up to you to decide.”

A cunning smile appeared on Nikcat’s face.

While he was reveling in the advantage he gained by capturing an unknown existence, he was horrified to see several half-meter-thick Black Lightning bolts shooting out of the bone right arm in his hand.

“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!…”

“Boom! Boom! Boom…”

A series of flashing lightning explosions shook the narrow, closed space.

Tens of Black Lightning bolts swept through every corner of the space like a dog licking its paws.

Nikcat’s skeleton warrior was instantly blasted into bone fragments. The bone fragments were then ground into powder by continuous black lightning.

Nikcat’s magic robe automatically activated the “Death Shield”. A layer of black light shield intercepted the lightning’s attack before it could hit him.

The black lightning rushed against the black light shield like torrential river water, causing the magic shield to shake violently and threaten to shatter at any moment.

Nikcat, terrified, hastily let go of Noland Lee’s bone double arms.

Before he could launch a decent counterattack, the right bone arm fired a new black lightning, directly striking his face. At the same time, black lightning also shot from the fingertips of the left bone arm.

Double black lightning, double fierce attack, Nikcat had no choice but to take the beating in the wild tide caused by the black lightning.

“Ah!”

Nikcat screamed, and the magic shield on his body shattered.

“Boom!”

Nikcat was struck by black lightning and instantly torn to pieces. Each of his bone fragments was swept by black lightning, turning into a handful of bone dust and scattering around. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The black lightning relentlessly trampled on the remains of Nikcat and the skeleton warrior.

Only when Noland Lee received the kill notification did the bone double arms stop firing black lightning.

The air in the narrow space returned to stability, as dust and bone dust slowly settled.

“Heh, Nikcat just came to send himself to death. Instead of learning something good, he chose to learn extortion from others. Now see what happened. He not only failed to gain anything, but also lost his life.”

Noland Lee grinned, but soon got serious again.

He steadied his mind and began to control the bone double arms to collect the spoils of war.

When he used the bone arms to fire black lightning, he deliberately avoided damaging the channel-style excavation device and Nikcat’s magic pouch.

Both items survived the battle, now laying quietly on the floor.

Seeing the excavation device and magic pouch unscathed, Noland Lee secretly sighed in relief.

His two bone arms swept over Nikcat’s remains and activated “Soul Absorption”.

The system feedback message made Noland Lee pause.

[Soul Absorption Failed!]

[No soul fragments found on target!]

Noland Lee turned the magic vision of his bone arms and carefully examined the surroundings.

There could be many reasons for the absence of soul fragments on the remains, one of which was that someone or something else had collected them first.

Could it be that something or someone was hiding in this narrow space besides his bone arms?

Noland Lee took a closer look and immediately raised his eyebrows.

Several blood-red flesh strips crawled out of Nikcat’s bones and flirted with Noland Lee’s bone double arms.

“Isn’t this the weak Blood Sun Converter of the Blood Sun Seal?!”

Noland Lee instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
